Still on the same project.
I currently have a theme I'm working on for tumblr. It's incredibly image heavy, so my goal is to load the entire page one (or a few) times while still being able to go to the next page of posts with pagination. The native pagination requires the entire page to load in order to get to older posts. What I believe I'm trying to achieve is loading with ajax, like this?
(Tumblr also does have an established script similar to this, infinite scrolling, which allows you to load more posts by scrolling to the bottom. That convinces me that this is possible, but unfortunately, as far as I know, not created yet.)
So, can anyone help me, if only it is to point me in the direction of an already established plugin somewhere? I've run into quite the problem since i know very little about scripting and nothing about ajax. I'm still quite new at this!
Again, here is the entire code of the theme currently, if that will help you with your answer. (Obviously, my posts render in the "POSTSGOHERE" div.) And, just in case, here is the script for infinite scrolling that definitely works on tumblr.
(No one point out how I haven't chained all my plugins yet, I'm a little cautious since they currently work and I don't want to break anything!)
Thanks again, stackoverflow.
EDIT: To clarify, I don't want infinite scrolling. I want pagination via ajax, like in the example. Infinite scrolling also will slow down my page, since you can only load so many posts before it just harms the speediness of the theme. It's very cumbersome and messy for this page.
Also, guys, I can't comment on your replies, for some reason? I'll just edit up here in order to reply.

Sorry if this question sounds stupid but im a noob with wordpress.
I am a javascript developer, and I want make a little game (or games) with wordpress. Opening main page there is a sliding puzzle. After complete, a button appears and clicking there you pass to another page. This is basically the same to all pages.
But I can't find were i put my javascript or HTML code. I create the pages but I can't edit them the way I want, everytime i try to do it i only can edit like word. I cant create, change or edit divs attibutes or tags. To be honest the only thing i can edit is CSS in stylesheet, but is too limited.
I have done the search, try found a solutions or ways to done it but when i look to tutorials is all diferent from what i see.
to give you an ideia I want to do a mix of this:
-> http://www.rustylake.com/room-escape-games/cube-escape-case-23.html
and this
-> https://ebonyriddle.com/
but i don't know how to edit page to page.
can you help me?
Thanks for everything
PS: I know I can do it without Wordpress, but I want use it anyway to learn more about the CMS (because of work) maintain website structure and later learn how to do my own templates or plugins.
To answer your question directly, yes it is possible (and easy, relatively speaking) to add custom code to every page / post of a Wordpress site.
More generally, you’re talking about creating a custom Wordpress theme, which you can find out more about here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
and here:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/ (Good suggestion from #ItsGeorge)
Regarding adding custom JavaScript to a theme, your files will need to be enqueued as per these instructions.
Outlining the steps involved in Wordpress theme development would go beyond the scope of your question, but there are plenty of resources online and answers to Wordpress specific questions on wordpress.stackexchange.com. You will need to familiarise yourself with php as well as JavaScript, to take full control of Wordpress.
I would say that developing a game feels like an odd fit... If learning Wordpress is your objective, a blog or personal website might be a better place to start, then you could move onto a game once you are familiar with the concepts involved, e.g. the loop, which plays a huge part in how Wordpress works
Good luck!
The primary focus of WordPress is to put HTML code and JS out of the user. You might manage your extra JavaScript files with your theme customization. If you want to get more control about how your pages are rendering, you should use action hooks and filters. The simplest way for you is to override each page template like this
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#single-page
The preferable resource to ask Wordpress related questions is https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/
Forgive me if another thread like this exists - I couldn't find the answer to that specific problem.
I'll soon be developing the frontend for a vanilla JS AJAX loaded website, with SPA-like behavior similar to the home slider in this one:
- http://clapat.ro/themes/grenada-wordpress
The methodology I will probably utilize is loading the innerHTML of a container from the targeted sub-template, then pushing the state to the history - pretty standard approach to this, I believe.
Now, the slides containing image background are pretty obvious - all it should take is placing the same image in the target subpage hero section, then animating in on load. The problem might be with the video slides - how to make them continue playing seamlessly during and after the reload? Will such approach force them to start all over from the beginning, as soon as the target page is loaded and placed in the view?
I haven't tried it yet, I thought I'd ask in advance, in order not to get myself stuck up all the way into the incorrect approach :)
Thank You in advance,
Peter
Researching the reference templates for the 100th time, I think I came up with some kind of a solution myself:
if both the homepage and target page had structure like:
<body>
<main-container>
<slider-or-hero-container>
...
</slider...>
<content-container>
...
</content...>
</main-container>
</body>
Then, maybe I could replace the whole "main-container" on normal links, but replace only "content-container" clicking the links within the slider? The slider section would basically just stay, and the script would simply modify its appearance (disabling arrows and slide change, perform the transition animations etc)...
If you had any suggestions at this point, I'll really appreciate that :) Otherwise, I will post an update when I'm done coding it - if it works, it may be helpful for someone in the future :)
Can i hide my wordpress blog site's page source like this? I have to ask this question because there are many plugins which can disable page source and right-click. but after typing manually "view-source:url" in browser it instantly shows the source-code of wordpress site.If any body knows answer please write down . this is very important for all bloggers 'I think' .
TLDR: No, you can never hide the soure code of your page. There is NO way.
For a browser to render a web site you need to send it the HTML, CSS, and javascript code. Even though you can make it "harder" to see the code by disabling right click, anyone with just a little bit of understanding of the web will be able to read it easily (F12 in most browsers).
As a website designer it is important for you to understand this concept as it is very important in deciding on how to design your web site. Things the user should not see need to happen on the server side (where no user can reach it). Only things which dont matter if anyone can see should be sent to the user.
I think you cannot hide the whole code. Or do you want to hide a specific part of the code? For example, you can hide/encrypt the URL of an iframe in which you can display more sensitive content. However, I also don't really know how to do it in WordPress (I searched for a solution many times) but I heard it's possible.
I'm curious what about the answers.
I wouldn't even consider doing this. Not only does it ruin the end-user's experience, it can actually stop people with disability copying text from your site or using other right-click menu items.
You can't hide your code, but you can obfuscate some of it.
CSS Obfuscater.
JSS Obfuscater.
The issues is with existing ASP.NET MVC 4 project. The View itself is not that big but there are also several service calls and what happens is that people with slow internet connection reports that for some period of time when they request the page it stay unresponsive, so they don't know if the content is loading or something went wrong.
So in general, what I need is a way to show a loading image as the very first thing from this page (or at least fast enough) so even if it takes some time for the browser to download the full content, at least the user will know that something is going on.
However it seems that this is not as trivial as it sounds. I came up with two ideas, one was already proven to not work in all cases and the second is also something that many people doesn't recommend.
What I've tried was to use pure JavaScript in the <head> tag like so:
<html>
<head>
<script>
document.write("<div style='margin-left: 50px; margin-top : 50px;'>LOADING...</div>");
</script>
</head>
Of course the styling is just to get the idea. This seemed like it was working until recently when on a minor build of IE 11 the page broke which after some investigation was proven to be due to the usage of document.write() inside the <head> tag. Even though this seems to work on most browsers and versions the fact that it's a potential danger requires a change in the approach.
The second idea is pretty similar to this, again - writing directly in the <head> tag but this time instead of using document.write() just putting the html markup directly there. From what I've read this is also a recipe for disaster so I don't even want to try it, but those are the two ideas that I could came up with. Everything else just doesn't work for slow internet connections since the mainstream solutions relays on the fact that some part of the DOM is already loaded so you can use it to apply behaviour/style.
I hope I'm not the first one that got this problem so I would appreciate any suggestion on how to solve this issue. Since I am using ASP.NET MVC 4 there was an idea to use a dedicated controller with view which to get called first just for the sake of showing the loading image and then moving to the requested view. Even though this idea seems interesting I didn't have the time to think it over, it also sounds a pretty complicated, but anyways, all help will be appreciated.
When faced with the same issue, we did as you mentioned: Load a super-light-weight page first with a tiny loading icon & "Loading..." text, then called back to the server to pull down the heavy content in chunks using ajax.
If you content is really heavy, it's also worth mentioning that you need make sure you have gzip compression turned on at your web server layer also.
Don't block the rendering of the DOM. Load the page and call your scripts right before the closing body tag and attach to an event like DOMContentLoaded or window.load (if you're using jQuery, that would be $(document).ready). In other words, you should allow the page to load completely, even if it's empty, before running any of your JavaScript.
Then, don't worry about writing the "Loading" div dynamically. Just include it in the rendered HTML and hide it initially. The first thing your JavaScript will do, before issuing any AJAX calls, is to show this "Loading" div.
Similar questions, if not exact questions like this have been asked but not often and the answers I have tried to alter with but have had no luck what-so-ever.
Basically, I want to be able to make the content part of my page (so the header remains on each page) change and I'm not sure if this is with anchors using only one html page or if it's multiple html pages or really how it's done at all. Been looking for over 5 hours but to no avail.
I came across this site looking for an answer and it has exactly what I am looking for http://www.aivahthemes.com/themes/gracious/index.html
I looked everywhere and found sites where it did similar things but if you went right by two pages and then went back to the original page, you would see the middle page on the way back. That site above does NOT do this and actually hides the pages between links somehow which is amazing.
This is a bit vague as I havn't posted any code but literally all the code I tried was just from previous questions and it was just me trying to adapt half-answers to what I wanted.
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm stumped!
Edit:
*Looked a bit more into detail, does look like one whole single HTML page. Why was it so quick to load though if it was an entire page? Thought that would have been a long process.
Edit2:
*Is it also possible to achieve this 'style' by doing it vertically?
The site you listed uses hashes in the URL. You can add them dynamically with javascript or just by using plain anchors. Hash in the url will save it in the browser history and the back/forward buttons will work fine. The only tricky part is reading the hash, which is pretty much straight forward with window.location.hash - it returns everything after '#' sign.
The script for animation/getting pages would be a little bit more complex, but as I see it's all based on getting the right <div id="HASH_FROM_URL">, moving it to 'left: -9999px' and then animating to main container's offsetLeft.
